Hans Holbein the Younger's Darmstadt Madonna painting is of Jakob Meyer zum Hasen, his first wife (who had died earlier), his current wife, and his daughter, Anna, around the Madonna and infant Jesus. It was commissioned by the mayor (Jakob Meyer zum Hasen) in 1525 and completed in Basel in 1526.
If you look closely at Anna's dress, she has embroidery patterns on it (Holbein stitch).

Here are my interpretations of the embroidery found on Anna's dress:
At the elbow
On the cuffs
